This goes interestingly hand in hand also with the definition of Substantial. Whatever is created from Insubstantial amount of data is not (or perhaps it does not need to be announced as) Produced Work. It feels natural because if the Insubstantial amount of data is actually free for any use then it would be odd to put restrictions for the derivatives. Thus it would be allowed to to take less than 100 features or area of less than 1000 inhabitants and make PD, Share alike or commercial derivatives from that without any restrictions. Is my interpretation right? What makes it really interesting is that we are living in service based environment. It would be trivial to set up a WMS server, open it for the world and let anybody render OSM maps on-the-fly from any place of the world. Maps would be streamed directly to the user and not necessarily even cached on the server side. Server may have a feature limit so that no more than 100 OSM features would ever be consumed for rendering the maps. Maps do not exist physically anywhere before the client makes the request only on the client computer after the request has been processed. In WFS mode the server could deliver vector data in a similar way. How would this machine suit the new license and definitions of Substantial/Insubstantial and Produced Work? I am mostly wondering, I do not mean that I consider this as such a threat that it should be prevented somehow. -Jukka Rahkonen- _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
